Harrys Man and Van Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is published by Harrys Man and Van to set out our commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. As Harry's Man & Van continues to provide removal and transport services, we affirm a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking. This statement applies to all workers, contractors and suppliers associated with Harrys Man and Van services.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and require every team member and partner to comply. Employees of Harrys Man & Van are trained to recognise indicators of exploitation and to report concerns immediately. Our employment practices include appropriate right-to-work checks, fair pay practices and explicit contractual terms that prohibit the use of forced, bonded or child labour across all Harrys removal service operations.

Supply Chain Oversight and Supplier Audits

We maintain a risk-based approach to supplier management. Supplier due diligence and regular supplier audits are central to our approach. Audits assess labour practices, working hours, wage compliance and health and safety standards. Key audit elements include:
  • Verification of worker documentation and recruitment practices
  • On-site inspections and third-party verification where required
  • Remediation plans and follow-up checks for non-compliant suppliers
We use these supplier checks to ensure Harrys man & van contractors meet our standards and to reduce risk throughout our logistics and subcontractor network.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Harrys Man and Van provides clear reporting channels for employees, contractors and partners to raise concerns. We maintain confidential reporting mechanisms and a formal escalation process. Any report of suspected modern slavery triggers immediate review and, where appropriate, suspension of the supplier relationship until the issue is resolved. Reports are treated with confidentiality and without retaliation.

Due Diligence, Policies and Risk Assessment

We conduct regular risk assessments across our operations and for the different categories of goods and services we procure. Our due diligence process includes background checks on recruitment agencies, screening new suppliers for compliance, and embedding anti-slavery clauses into contracts. The company handbook and procurement policies explicitly require suppliers to adhere to our anti-slavery standards and to cooperate with audits and investigations.

Employee awareness is reinforced through mandatory training, contractor briefings and the dissemination of our anti-slavery policy to all new partners. Harrys Man & Van's commitment includes continuous improvement of procedures and targeted action where higher-risk activities are identified, ensuring that our workforce and subcontractors understand their responsibilities.

We require corrective action plans for any supplier found in breach of our standards. Compliance agreements and termination clauses are used to manage persistent non-compliance. Our procurement teams review supplier performance and prioritise remediation, ensuring that those providing Harrys removal services operate ethically and transparently.

Monitoring, Annual Review and Transparency

We publish this anti-slavery statement annually and commit to an annual review of our policies and practices. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels and staff training. Findings from the review inform policy updates, resource allocation and strategic decisions to strengthen the Harrys man & van anti-slavery framework. This annual process ensures accountability and ongoing vigilance across the business.
